Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of catalysts, and in particular to an iron-based molecular sieve catalyst, a preparation method and applications thereof. Background Art

[0002] Light olefins, such as ethylene and propylene, are among the most important platform chemicals in the modern chemical industry and are typically produced by naphtha steam cracking. In recent years, the development of non-petroleum-based routes to ethylene and propylene has attracted considerable attention, with successful applications in methanol-to-olefins, syngas-to-olefins, and bioethanol dehydration processes. Over the past decade, the supply of ethane has surged more than 15-fold due to increased shale gas production. While steam cracking of ethane has been used industrially to produce ethylene, it is a highly endothermic process requiring high reaction temperatures and producing byproducts such as carbon dioxide and methane. In contrast, direct catalytic dehydrogenation of ethane and propane is a promising technology for producing ethylene and propylene. However, in the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane and propane, oxygen in the feed leads to overoxidation, producing unwanted byproducts such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, resulting in reduced selectivity for ethylene or propylene.

[0003] Currently, platinum-based catalysts are mainly used in the prior art to catalyze the dehydrogenation of alkanes to olefins. For example, Publication No. CN105251486B discloses a supported platinum-based catalyst for the dehydrogenation of propane to propylene and its preparation method. Publication No. CN111135856A discloses the preparation and application of a platinum-based skeleton iron molecular sieve alkane dehydrogenation catalyst. Publication No. CN118988302A discloses a Zn-regulated PtSn / Al2O3 catalyst, its preparation method, and its application in propane dehydrogenation. Although platinum-based molecular sieve catalysts currently have high selectivity, platinum is a precious metal and has a high cost of use.

[0036] Test example: The conversion rates of ethane, ethylene, propane and propylene in Examples 1 to 7 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 were tested, and the test results are shown in Table 1; Table 1 Test results As shown in Table 1, the initial low-carbon alkane conversion rate of the iron-based molecular sieve catalyst prepared in Examples 1 to 9 can reach up to 43.2%, and the initial low-carbon alkane selectivity can reach 94.2%. The iron-based molecular sieve catalyst provided by the present invention is compared with the PtSn / Al2O3 catalyst in the prior art. Although the initial low-carbon alkane conversion rate and the initial low-carbon alkane selectivity are reduced, the difference is not significant. This result shows that the iron-based molecular sieve catalyst provided by the present invention also has a relatively excellent catalytic performance for converting low-carbon alkanes to low-carbon olefins. In addition, the iron-based molecular sieve catalyst provided by the present invention can be regenerated by calcining in air, while the PtSn / Al2O3 catalyst requires oxychlorination reaction to complete regeneration. The iron-based molecular sieve catalyst provided by the present invention has a simple regeneration process and low regeneration cost compared with the PtSn / Al2O3 catalyst.

[0037] Examples 1 to 4 are iron-based molecular sieve catalysts made by using molecular sieve HCHA (Si:Al=15:1) to load iron ions. Experiments have found that the iron loading in the iron-based molecular sieve catalyst has an important influence on the initial alkane conversion rate and the selectivity of light olefins. When the iron loading is too low or too high, the catalytic performance of the iron-based molecular sieve catalyst is reduced.

[0038] In addition, the present invention found that the conversion rate of light alkanes of the Fe-HCHA catalyst can still reach more than 30% after 150 hours, while the conversion rate of light alkanes of other catalysts is still basically zero. The conversion rate of light alkanes of the PtSn / Al2O3 catalyst in the prior art is reduced to less than 10% after 150 hours of catalysis.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any way. Any simple modification, change and equivalent transformation made to the above embodiment based on the technical essence of the present invention still fall within the scope of protection of the technical solution of the present invention.
